Every year,like clockwork,this beauty blooms for Christmas.I mounted it six years ago and we are both happy about it.It has recently started to spike.Last years infloresence was a little over four feet high with six branches and nearly seventy blooms total.Hopefully,it will last until the January orchid show in Grand Rapids,Mich.The steel ruler is one foot.

Lovely the way you have this mounted.

[johnblagg]

awesome mount you did there.I have been considering something like this....How do you water and care for it?

Spray it with solution and water and then mist often.....how often?

I was thinking this would be a cool way to mount several catts

Wow! Awesome! I can't wait to see it in bloom, and keeping my fingers crossed for you that it will be in bloom for the show!

Thanks,all.The mount is a hollow piece of very old Elm I found near Interlochen,Mich.It's stuffed with moss with the top inch or so mixed with bark.Twice daily rain water misting,weekly watering with 20%msu,and sporadic drenchings[rain events] and it thinks it's in the jungle. Brad

	Mistking Looking for a misting system? Look no further. Automated misting systems from MistKing are used by multitude of plant enthusiasts and are perfect for Orchids. Systems feature run dry pumps, ZipDrip valve, adjustable black nozzles, per second control! Automatically mist one growing shelf or a greenhouse full of Orchids. See MistKing testimonials

WOW! Excellent job!!!

I have to agree...WOW!
Looking forward to see some pics when it flowers!

[DanielBear]

I have this one too. Wondering how much light you have this in, and whether you do anything special to encourage it to spike. Temperature? Let it dry out? How did it do last year?

You've done an amazing job. That orchid looks extremely healthy. Congratulations I hope you'll post a picture when it blooms.

I'm looking forward to a blooming pic of this one too. Great plant, and that mount is really neat. I have a Gower Ramsey, but mine is another year or two away from blooming. (And lives in a pot... Which is probably the orchid equivalent of working in a cubicle.)

I need to find out more about the January Show in Grand Rapids. If I have any window space left in my house, I will probably go down there, as long as I am not working that day.

Nice orchid,
Dave
